Chuckling, I gave in and let her have what she wanted.

Ember cried out, and I spared a moment to hope we were alone on this end of the house. Of course, I imagined she and the knight weren’t quiet, so they’d probably sorted that problem years ago. I could find out, but I didn’t want to take my attention any further from the beautiful woman quivering beneath me.

“Fuck, Nic, you’re still wearing clothing.”

“Much like yours, I can fix that instantly.”

“Strip, Prince. I want your cock buried in me,” she ordered.

“My shadows aren’t good enough?” I stroked them in and out of her.

“They’re plenty good, but I want more.”

I laughed and shifted my clothing into the shadows so I was bare. I didn’t make myself completely solid, but the important parts were.

She grinned at me, eyes traveling down my body. Her tongue darted out of her mouth, flicking across her lips. “Yeah, let’s do this,” she said.

My shadows still filled her, and I slid them out, making sure she felt it as they left.

Ember’s lips parted in pleasure. “For someone who’s never done this before—”

I pressed myself against her entrance. “It’s not as if I didn’t have access to millions of dreams on the subject.”

She laughed and rolled her hips, encouraging me.

“Can I have one of my hands back? I want to touch you.”

“Of course.” I pulled the tendril of shadow away from her wrist, sliding it down her arm, and cupping her breast with it.

I slid inside her, reveling in the feel of her slick walls trembling around my cock, tight and warm and welcoming and everything I could have ever imagined. Ember wrapped her legs around my waist, and I rocked into her.

“You feel amazing,” she said, threading her fingers into my hair and pulling me down to kiss her.

My energy of Nightmare and hers of the conscious realm coiled around each other like cats rubbing together, warm and soft and purring at the contact, eager to be joined. I was ready. Why had I ever resented that we’d been bound as children? I couldn’t even remember at this point, so grateful she’d chosen to allow me back into her life.

We moved together, my climax building just as hers was.

I wrapped my shadows around her, holding her close, trying to promise without words that I’d never let her go.

“Nic, this is so amazing. You’re amazing. Let’s do this all the time. There are so many things I want to try.” She let her head fall back, mouth open as she keened with her building release.

“That’s a fantastic idea, Ember,” I gasped out.

“Oh, I’m coming again.” She bucked her hips underneath me.

I let her release take me over the edge into my own.

Our energies joined, my shadows sinking into Ember where they touched her, tying us together and tying her to Nightmare. I nearly collapsed on top of Ember at the intensity of the binding.

She dug her fingers into my shoulder, trembling.

“I feel like you’re a part of me,” she whispered.

“Technically,” I panted. “I am right now.” I tried to pull the shadows away, but every part of me was almost too sensitive to move. A pleasant torture as I slowly tried to work my shadows free.

“Oh.” She looked up at the arm to see the shadows sunken into her skin. “That’s trippy.”

I laughed. “You should feel it on my end.”
